I just love it! I used before Dior Nude foundation and I just wanted to try something new. This foundation goes smoothly and leaves your skin feel fresh, covers all the problem areas. I recommend it for oily or combination skin.

One significant reapplication required mid-day to appreciate the qualities offered. A few touch ups are expected other than that. The coverage and texture is excellent but looks a little dry (clay?) alone. I use additional products to brighten and enhance complexion.

This used to be my holy grail foundation when my acne was really bad. Now that my skin is clearer I find it can look a little too cakey especially as the day goes on. However you are looking for a full coverage flawless look and have some imperfections to cover this would be for you.

I used Bare Minerals for years and really needed a change but didn't want a heavy makeup. This makeup is even lighter than powder. I feel like I have no makeup on! The texture of the foundation is so creamy and light! Love, love, love for my dry skin!

I bought this product because I like tartes powder foundation so I figured I would like there liquid as well. Unfortunately I don't like it at all, in fact it made me so itchy and my whole face red - maybe I'm allergic. But besides that, it didn't blend in well either, it looks too chalky or something? That's the best way to put it. I think it's because it's also a sunblock.

Though this product is not completely oil-free, it is free of mineral oil and is dermatologist tested, so it should not cause issues for acne-prone skin. It is suitable for all skin types.
